Wiha Anti-Cam-Out Screwdrivers

Toolmonger:



"Wiha makes excellent precision screwdrivers, but their full-sized drivers deserve the same praise. The ribbed tips on Wiha’s Anti-Cam-Out screwdrivers prevent the tool from slipping off of fasteners, which prevents damaged fasteners and personal injury. Their comfortable and contoured no-roll handles, durable tips, and low cost make Wiha’s A.C.O. and 3K screwdrivers great tools."

Phillips heads were originally designed to cam-out after their maximum torque is reached. While this may have been a good idea at the time, it's nearly impossible to drive a phillips screw into wood without the bit slipping. Somehow, i doubt that these drivers will actually work as well as they claim.

This is an interesting idea for screwdriver tips. I have never had the chance to work with them, but if it works like they say it will, it might be of use to have for certain circumstances. I think if they are introduced in the shop, the ribbed tips will be worn down too fast.
